both were on CBS in the late 1970s. Both had superhero themes.
You had Wonder Woman and the Hulk. WW is a mainstream, beloved superhero. The Hulk is a misunderstood monster, wanted by the police (and journalist McGee).
Diana Prince works for the IADC government agency; maybe David Banner could have had a temp job for the agency, or somewhere else, where there ended up being problems with criminals, spies or terrorists, and the Hulk ended up wrecking some things which gets Wonder Woman's attention.
The Hulk and Wonder Woman could team up against the bad guys, and then once Diana saw that the Hulk turns out to be David, then maybe she would secretly help him escape. She may also decide to give him a sample of spring water from Paradise Island, which hopefully would help him find a cure.

I noticed that many actors appeared as guests on both shows. I wondered if the shows were produced by the same company, but that does not appear to be the case. It must have been a coincidence. Both shows used a lot of guests. Please click on

Grendelkahn is correct- the two series were made by two different production companies- Warner Brothers and Universal. THAT'S why there was never a crossover. DC and Marvel would have had absolutely no say in the matter. If they had both been distributed by the same studio and wanted a crossover, DC and Marvel couldn't have stopped it. But it's too bad, a crossover between Wonder Woman and the Hulk would have blown people away back then!
The two shows were pretty different in tone, but I think a crossover would have worked. I could imagine Diana Prince being sent by the IADC to investigate the sightings of a green monster, fighting him as WW, and then realizing he was really David Banner and trying to help find a cure for his 'condition.'

they did get together to do the seminal Superman vs. Spider-man giant-size crossover comic in 1976
I've still got mine - I remember how that blew us all away back then!

That's not true. DC and Marvel were competitors, but they did get together to do the seminal Superman vs. Spider-man giant-size crossover comic in 1976. In 1981, they did a second Superman and Spider-man crossover, which in fact did have Wonder Woman and the Hulk as the backup heroes.

Incorrect. WW wasn't cancelled until 1979. Hulk began its regular run in March 1978. In fact, for most of the 1978-79 season, WW was the Hulk's lead-in.
Ooops.

Good idea but DC and Marvel weren't exactly buddy-buddy back then.
If both shows were on today it might be more probable. But the 70sNAH!!
